He gave my son move of a love for the game and he was crushed when he signed somewhere else. When I told him the news this morning, I didn't want him to be surprised as school, he looked at me for a second and burst into tears. We had a good cry together and hugged it out.
My heart breaks for the family on how something that was supposed to be such and exciting event will forever be changed.
RIP Johnny and Matt and my deepest condolences to all impacted. This ####ing sucks.

Yeah...I get it. This one is kicking the crap out of me a bit. Met the guy for 2 minutes 8 or so years ago down outside the locker room. He gave my daughters his undivided attention for those two minutes as they tried to find words to speak to him lol. He led them with questions and was very interested in their hockey "careers". So sad.
